- Agata has her own private practice and she provides schema therapy treatment and supervision. She works with adults, specializing in long-term difficulties such as personality disorders or dysfunctional personality traits, resulting from childhood trauma or other negative life experiences, recurrent depression, and anxiety disorders, as well as with couples. She is passionate about how people grow out of their problems and develop and is eager to accompany them, which is why she mainly uses the schema therapy model now. Agata teaches schema therapy at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Poland in a 4-year CBT psychotherapy certification program and regularly provides schema therapy self-practice/self-reflection workshops for her students. She also cooperates with the Schema Therapy Institute SouthEast in the USA, where she trains future schema therapists in the ISST Training & Certification Program. Agata has been in the psychotherapy field for over 15 years. She started her adventure with psychotherapy working with domestic violence victims. Before moving entirely to her private practice and teaching, she had worked in a daily care unit in a psychiatry hospital in Warsaw, conducting CBT group therapy for 5 years, mostly for those with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders. To expand her knowledge and experience, she also completed an internship at an inpatient unit in one of the biggest psychiatry hospitals in Warsaw. Currently, she is learning to combine schema therapy with other evidence-based therapy methods.
